Thank you Don ##### Lwazi Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Dumisani 1 Mar 2021 Disliked: Staff & service My booking included breakfast but when I told the owner Don Atkinson about breakfast, he said to me Hotels.com did not pay for breakfast, I had no choice but to pay for it again. It was terrible breakfast, eggs had to much salt, I asked for a brown toast and he gave me white toast. Above all, lesson learnt. My son enjoyed the swimming pool plus the internet connectivity was good. ##### Dumisani Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruaan 12 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### A Charming Oasis in Durban: The Acorn B&B Our recent stay at the Acorn B&B in Durban was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by its old-school charm and the warm, welcoming hospitality of the two lovely hosts. I cannot praise this B&B enough for its unique blend of comfort, friendliness, and convenience. What truly sets this B&B apart, however, is the exceptional hospitality of the hosts. From the moment we arrived until our departure, they went out of their way to make us feel at home. Their genuine friendliness and willingness to assist with any request made our stay memorable. We even had the pleasure of sitting down with them for a chat, which felt like catching up with old friends. The location of the Acorn B&B is also worth highlighting. Nestled in a serene and quiet area of Durban, it provided the perfect respite from the bustling city, allowing us to unwind and relax. Yet, it is conveniently situated close to all the attractions and amenities that Durban has to offer. Whether you're looking to explore the vibrant city center, soak up the sun on the beaches, or indulge in local cuisine, everything is just a short drive away. In summary, our stay at the Acorn B&B was an absolute pleasure. If you appreciate old-school charm, impeccable service, and a tranquil oasis in the heart of Durban, I wholeheartedly recommend this B&B. We left with fond memories and a longing to return to this exceptional establishment. ##### Ruaan Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel 1 Mar 2024 ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rivka 1 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Rivka Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Skhanyiso 10 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Skhanyiso Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mohommed 5 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Mohommed Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Silent 21 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Silent Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tomohiro 23 Oct 2022 ##### Tomohiro Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phumla 7 Aug 2022 ##### Phumla Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nontobeko 3 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Nontobeko Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### thabiso 17 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good It was good everything was excellent ##### thabiso Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob 1 Apr 2022 ##### Rob Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simangele 20 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was good, place is quiet,.
